>Subject: RE: #7745.1 How to fix ripped audio tape?(!)
>Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 12:24:09 -0500

Hi Vito-

Otmar is right - these are best spliced on an angle. I made repairs to
hundreds of tape carts (look a bit like 8 track tapes, used to be used by
radio stations for commercials, etc) using that method. I've also edited
reel-to-reel tape this way, repaired cassettes, and done VHS splices to get
"one last play" out of a dead tape.

Please don't consider a splice a permanent fix - the splices tend to dry out
and let loose after a short period of time. You'll need to make dubs on to
fresh tapes (or whatever media you are using).

The equipment you need isn't expensive, and can be found here:

You may also want to try a store that sells pro audio equipment. I buy my
supplies locally from such a company.

Best of luck!

Cheers,

Steven
